Happy First Day of Spring....even if it doesn't feel like it!
Third-Graders in Jess Brown's class shared some very persuasive writing re: how our school needs more playground equipment. Very persuasive, indeed!
Daisy Staff,
A few notes as we start a new week:
- What an exciting event for our entire Westbrook community to have our WHS Boys Basketball Team play in the final state tournament at Mohegan Sun on Saturday. What fun to see so many of our students, families and staff support our team throughout the season. Even though the outcome wasn't what many had hoped for on Saturday, our boys play hard and brought so many people in the community together along the way. Earning the right to play in a final state game is incredible!
- Thanks to all who came out to support "Light on Westbrook" on Saturday evening; it was a fabulous event.
- Tonight (Monday., March 20) is the Budget Presentation to the Board of Finance at 6 pm at the Town Hall.
- As you finalize Report Cards, please let me know about any concerns you have or any specific reports that you'd like me to review. As you know, Report Cards go home with students on Wednesday.
- We will hold our rescheduled Breakfast for EL Families ("Coffee and Chat") this Wed., March 22, from 7:45-8:30 am in Room 20 (Joanna's room). Families have been notified of the rescheduled date and we will send a reminder.
- Wednesday is a School-Based PLC, but most have waived out of this due to the extended work session on March 8. Details to follow.
- Math Night is scheduled for this Thursday, March 23. Let's see how we can all assist Lesley in the running of this very important event!
- Some of our students will be going on to the next level of the Invention Convention this Saturday, March 25, at Quinipiac University.
- SBAC practice/training has begun in 3rd and 4th grades and the schedule has been finalized for SBAC Testing during the weeks of May 8 and May 15, with make-ups on May 22-23. Schedules will be distributed to all those involved.
- We will have visitors from China with us from April 1 through April 4. We will plan a school-wide assembly to introduce them to our students and staff on Monday, April 3. Ginny is still seeking a few host families for students, so if you're at all interested, please contact her.
As always, please consult our Daisy Staff Calendar for updates as they happen by clicking on the link below:
Pat Ciccone and Phil Cocchiola thank all for attending "Light on Westbrook" and explain about the very worthwhile outcome of this charitable event---seed money for a summer feeding program

Let's make it a great week, all!
With appreciation for all you do,
